8/23 Nationals (Perez) @ Cubs (Dempster) - 12:05 CSN Chicago

Lee to the 15 day DL Micah up

 

Lets hope not

 

I dont see Lee hitting the DL, but if he does need a few days off, Id much rather Hoffpauir somehow come up than Ward take first.

 

Time off for Lee might be a good thing. Soriano has been running much better after his DL stint.

Why did Dempster hit? He should be done for the day.

[Outshined_One]

Fred Willard is really awkward in there.

Get that clown out of the booth. "What that a strike? it looked like it" The pitch was above Soriano's helmet.

[PrimeTime]

Get rid of Kouske's 12 Mil and put it towards signing C.C next year..Sabathia,Z,Harden,Demp..A freakin dynasty

[Keener98]

Why did Dempster hit? He should be done for the day.

 

Because the BP sucked yesterday, so therefore Lou has no faith in them

[Andy]

No reason for Dempster to be out there right now.

[BigSlick]

please tell me you're joking

[Outshined_One]

Where the heck was that, ump?

[CubColtPacer]

Why did Dempster hit? He should be done for the day.

 

It's probably a combination of the long string of consecutive games that the Cubs are in, and the fact that Gaudin threw 52 pitches yesterday. It's not like they're stretching Dempster out in this game..they're just not taking him out early.

[BigSlick]

No reason for Dempster to be out there right now.

We're trying to keep steady with the Brewers in terms of pitcher abuse

[Fred Hornkohl]

Harris grounded out to second, 4-3

Indeed.

[Keener98]

You know, I wonder if all the people clamoring for Hoff to take over for Lee for a lil while, will be bitching when Aram and Theriot start having throwing errors alot more often. Which would in turn make our pitchers work more, and have a lot better chance at giving up runs.

[VanceJergins]

This isn't even close. He was at 91 going into the inning. Not a huge deal.

Samardzija could pitch the last 2. Howry 1. Marmol or Wood 1. 90 pitches isn't a short outing. He was at 90 before this inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zimmerman singled to left field

[Hall7810]

Of course Marmol is warming...

[Keener98]

Of course Marmol is warming...

 

 

And its not a big deal

[Andy]

Of course Marmol is warming...

 

 

And its not a big deal

None of our big three relievers pitched yesterday, so there's no problem here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milledge hit by pitch , Zimmerman to second

[Hall7810]

Meh, I rather Samardijza just pitch the rest of the game.

[Guest]

Alright, let's get out of it before this game becomes interesting.
